Jason X and Jason Goes to Hell DVD News & Specs!!!

Unlike the pitiful Paramount barebones releases of the Friday the 13th series, the New Line DVD releases of the last two Ft13 movies are fully loaded. They will be released on October 8th. And JGtH will also contain the unrated edition. Hopefully they sell well, and maybe Paramount will re-issue Ft13 1-8 in S.E. versions. Here are the specs, from horrordvd.com:

Here's the art for the DVD cases. Nice to see that unlike Paramont, New Line is keeping the art from the movie posters for use on the DVD's. Notice though that moniker, "The Final Friday" is missing from the name of the Jason Goes to Hell disc.

Here's the Jason X case. I am glad that New Line decided to go with Keepcases on this releases. I hate those damned Snapper Cases. Curse Warner Bros. for inventing those things, they need to get with the program, even if they invent their own type of keep case.

Jason Goes To Hell:

I liked how the VHS box had the snake and mask embossed, that was kinda cool.

I don't think I ever noticed all these years that they deleted "The Final Friday."
